Exactly my thinking. Two Indy 500 wins are no small feat.

He's brilliant in that series.

To be fair, a fair few of the staff from Super Aguri went on to form the Aguri Formula E team, which eventually was purchased by Chinese Media Capital and rebranded as double reigning champions Techeetah, so it actually worked out pretty well for Super Aguri outside of F1 as well.

@@GeriatricFan1963 should've been name Super Agur-E. But you know what they say - Kah-CHEETAH!

That livery was actually sick! Totaly forgot about their existence.

Ahh forti the team that brought the 107% qualifying rule in. Lapped so many times it was like there where 'forti' of them on track. 🤣

Get out. Here's the like.

@@gunnergav take my upvote and get lost

@@gunnergav SIUUUUUUUUUUUUU

here’s a fun fact: both drivers, Pedro Diniz and Roberto Moreno, finished the 1995 Argentine and San Marino race unclassified because they were lapped so many times due to how crap the car was lmao

They didn't copy it though. They outright bought the original chasis and design. Very different situation. Much like the first Toro Rosso car was an older Red Bull chassis. From what I remember, the Toro Rosso was the final time that was allowed as the rules were changed to stop teams running older chassis' from other teams.

Super Aguri 2007: Let's run last year's Honda then spend most of the season ahead of them.

I find it impressive that Sato was only 4 seconds slower than M. Schumacher in Q1 + he finished the first race. Interestingly their results didn't get better when they got their new car ready..

Super Aguri pulled the ultimate big brain move

@@CapHowdy From 2010 was the first Toro Rosso that the team actually designed themselves, the STR1-STR4 were all Red Bulls that were adapted to fit the Ferrari engine the team were running at the time.

I agree that Life had the worst car in F1 history, but Andra Moda was the more poorly run team, hence why Andrea Moda is seen as the worst team in F1 history, but Life is a close second don’t get me wrong.

Calling Life Racing a team is a stretch, they were a bunch of idiots with what can arguably be called a car

@Ram Attack They ask for any additions at the end of the video. That's what this is.

@@jackcrola1076 I guess you're right in the sense that Ernesto Vita never antagonized his drivers or F1 at large. It was just massive ignorance and incompetence. Using an old chassis that was deemed "a deathtrap" by its designer is pretty dubious though.

I guess they didn't prequalify for this video

I feel like money would still be a problem for them. maybe they would become another team and get bought out?

Maybe be the Toro Rosso/AlphaTauri to Honda? We'll never know.

@@lgndk11r thats exactly what they were lol

But Brawn became Mercedes in 2010 which was the beginning of the era: Sebastien Vettel

@@CHERN0BYLCH1LD the team made it to Interlagos, only to then be told they'd withdrawn on Wednesday 26th March 1997. So the staff and cars just sat in the garage for a few days. The T97/30 was an IndyCar adapted to F1 regs, using the engines Forti had been using until their demise. Not 1997-spec, 1996-spec. And their stated aim was to beat Stewart...

Grand Prix racing was never meant for the poor. After 90s and 2010s disaster, F1 will never accept poor racing teams who cannot committ for long time and has no resources to be competitive. Although the costs are coming down from next year so we should see more auto manufacturers lurking soon.

@@reynaldiwidjaja277 20 million to each team Is 200 million total. Learn to read

@@Jimaybob ah sorry about that I'm blind

@@metalmario722 would it though?

don't forget the whole trying-to-kill-him-at-Spa

No. You're wrong. F1 is more exciting and engaging than ever. Now, go vote for your favourite driver (charges apply)

No, they were like 10 seconds off the pace, didn't add anything to the show, the only time they got screen time was when they cause problems while being lapped. We should appreciate the quality of current grid, at least every car get a shot of point if something happens.

When you consider how much people take the piss out of Williams (and the Ferrari engine cars this year) for being the back markers who often end on the same lap or one lap down, how was teams that would end a race four laps down be more interesting? The simple fact they had to bring in pre-qualifying because of how bad most of those teams were, speaks volumes of why rules changed to stop that as it was making a mockery of the sport.

@@oscarshen6855 Yup. Nobody needs mobile chicanes that end up four laps down every race or fails to even qualify.

Many of them aren't even rubbish. Just poor. I remember reading that experts reckoned that arrows' chassi for next year was good enough to fight for top spots. Many of these are very promising teams with great desirners. Then they eventually run out of money

No they didn't, Pacific Racing ran two complete seasons before closing down after the 1995 season.

I think Aiden Millward's done videos on both of them for his Storytime collection

@@decb thanks, I'll check these out

They were bought by Red Bull at the end of 2005 to become Toro Rosso, and had always completed each season prior to their sale

That's because they still exist, only now they race as "AlphaTauri" (and before that, were "Toro Rosso"). Still based in Fienza, Italy.

Probably cause Minardi didn't collapse, Paul Stoddart sold the team to Red Bull in 2005 and it became Scuderia Toro Rosso, which is now AlphaTauri.

Prost too, but they collapse after the 2001 season.

Nice Story, and if it was Mrs. Aguri that must have been a special Weekend for someone, since usually wife’s of people in f1 aren’t usually there(Well what I have seen but I don’t pay attention)

While March were indeed on the entry list for the 1993 season, they never turned up to the first grand prix, so not really "tried to race"

@@MrSniperfox29 Ironicaly their drivers they signed for 1993 turned up at the first race. But the team itself (or at least their material) did not

At least Life had a ambitious idea, didn't put faulty parts on the car in an attempt to kill one of your drivers for insurance money and didn't get kicked out of the championship unlike Andrea Moda

Which means they didn't collapse midseason, as the video is about.

That's because of how dull their livery was. It just... blended into the track. I think the only time you might've actually spotted one would've been when it was upsidedown after Yuji Ide flipped Christijan Albers at Imola

Wrong, Rcing Point only bought the assets, not the actual team entry Force India had. Thus it is technically a different team.

@@gamefan56 you are correct.

Caterham did finish the season, they just missed two races.

Not even remotely. That would have meant that they had even made it that far in the season and as we know, that didn't happen.

I was thinking "who's the 3rd?", but it's Benetton ain't it.

@@decb Yep. I sort of forgot they were a fashion brand at one point as they don't have that many stores round here any more. It was a novel way of making sure even non-commercial broadcasters like the BBC had to say their name (Murray Walker admitted this much).

Jordan - Midland - Spyker - Force India - Racing Point.

@@Bungle2010 just as Alpha Tauri are nothing to do with Torro Rosso? Yes, Force India no longer exists, but come on, did anybody notice any difference between Force India & Racing Point Force India between the 2018 Hungarian GP & the Belgium GP?

@@LastOnSunday While it is technically the same personnel and assets, its not under the same team registry (Which is the important difference here between what is Now Aston Martin F1 and what is now AlphaTauri). AlphaTauri is considered the same team as Minardi in registry because Red Bull bought out the team entirely (Assets, Points and all) and simply renamed it whereas Aston Martin F1 is not considered the same team as Force India because despite the same team members and parts being there, Lawrence Stroll bought only the assets BUT not the team as they were registered (which included the points it had as Force India thus why they started from 0 at Hungary, its also why Andrea Moda was disallowed to compete in the first race in 92 because they entered as a new team using the previous team's assets as opposed to simply renaming the team's entry name and thus needed to pay that $100,000 entry fee that was required by brand new teams ). I know its silly and I'm not arguing they aren't the exact team because in terms of personnel and assets they are but in terms of team registry, Jordan/Midlands/Spyker/Force India is not the same as Racing Point/Aston Martin F1 while Minardi/Toro Rosso/AlphaTauri can be considered the same team because Red Bull simply bought the entire outfit and entered it as the same team just with a brand new name while retaining previous assets personnel and points.

But he did finish on the podium for Onyx at the 1989 Portuguese grand prix

All finished their final season. And you could say that Tyrrell are still going, and have won every title in the turbo-hybrid era
